This is what transparency and honesty looks like in the animal industry when we tell you to give your pet X and return on Y so we can safely work with them OR offer heavier sedation that moment so we can address the issue. Your pet is your companion and we do care about them and their emotional and physical wellbeing.

We now have Librela available for osteoarthritis in dogs. This is a monthly monoclonal antibody therapy that helps stop osteoarthritis pain at the nerve level and may allow your pet to stop daily NSAIDS. We have been using the cat version (Solencia) for almost a year and have had great success controlling arthritic pain in our feline patients.

Ask us if this will help keep your dog more comfortable!

Give dog owners an idea of what canine OA pain may look like. Post this image to your social channels or follow the customizable post instructions.

Our current policy for medication and food pickups is as follows:
Orders for in stock items called in before noon will be ready for pickup after 3 PM.
Orders for in stock items called in after noon will be ready for pickup at 8 AM the following business day.
If you are requesting an item which states on your label "please call a week in advance for refills", it is because shipping of these items happens only on a weekly basis. This includes prescription diets drop shipped by the vendors (Hills, Purina, Royal Canin). Hills delivers weekly only, generally on Wednesdays, but these items are ordered the previous Friday.
Orders which must be ordered outside of our regular channels will incur a rush shipping charge as imposed to us by the vendor; not all items are available for rush shipping.
We realize that this can be a challenge, but timely calls for refills will allow us to serve you without gaps in foods or meds.
Thank you!

As it appears from last Friday's VMC closure that there are staffing issues again at the VMC that are limiting appointment availability. Please remember our urgent care and emergency services are for established and current patients ONLY.
While we sympathize with those looking for urgent services who do not have regular veterinarians, we are unable to accommodate walk ins and non-patients for urgent problems.
If you are unable to reach the VMC, please try Urgent Veterinary Care in Auburn (315-515-3074), Upstate Veterinary Specialties in Latham (518-783-3198), Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Services in Rochester (585-424-1277), or Cornell University (607-253-3060).
